1.29 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

One transparent 1.29 carat peridot, presented in a trillion shape, offers a refined combination of proportion and color, measured precisely at 7.07 by 7.23 by 4.10 mm. The gemstone is faceted with a classic trillion cut, and exhibits intense yellowish green color, with a lively and even saturation across the table and crown facets. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means minor natural features are present but do not detract from the overall visual appeal or brilliance when viewed without magnification. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and clean light return, and the stone is confirmed to be untreated, with no enhancements applied. Origin for this peridot is Pakistan, a source known for producing lively green material with attractive saturation and good clarity, and The Natural Gemstone Company presents this piece as a fine example of that material and provenance.

The combination of a precise trillion cut and excellent polish in this 1.29 carat stone results in a balanced face up size and pleasing optical performance, especially in settings that allow the table and crown to interact directly with light. The nearly equilateral outline, combined with the 4.10 mm depth, produces a comfortable profile for both ring and pendant settings, and the clean facet work enhances scintillation and sparkle. In practical design terms, the stone is well suited to be set as a center stone in a minimalist solitaire, as an accent in multi stone designs, or as a vivid focal point in a pendant or pair of earrings. The intense yellowish green tone offers strong fashion flexibility, pairing well with both warm and cool metal tones, and the transparent clarity and excellent polish support secure prong or bezel settings that showcase the stone while protecting its edges.

On the Mohs hardness scale, peridot measures between 6.5 and 7.0, which places it below corundum and diamond, and close to the hardness of common quartz. This hardness range indicates that peridot is durable enough for many types of jewelry, including earrings, pendants, and rings, with sensible precautions. For daily wear rings, selecting protective settings, for example a bezel or low profile prongs, will reduce the risk of chipping along the facets and edges, and will help maintain the stone over time. Cleaning is best accomplished with warm soapy water and a soft brush, rinsing thoroughly and drying with a soft cloth, while avoiding aggressive ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemical exposure that can increase the risk of surface damage or breakage. With appropriate care and considerate mounting choices, this Pakistani peridot will retain its vivid color and eye clean appearance, offering enduring beauty for years, as a responsibly sourced gem presented by The Natural Gemstone Company.
